Six Food Stations for Every Persuasion

If you’re planning for a wedding in 2016, the biggest reception trend out there combining the cocktail hour with dinner for a looser but no less marvelous affair. Instead of a sit-down meal where food is served at a specific time, brides and grooms are now having carts and stations filled with an assortment of appetizers, entrees, and desserts on call as soon as the reception begins. Trust us, it’s the best way to put “party” back into wedding party!
